Fact Check: Fall River mayoral candidate Amaral’s claim that Fall River crime data hasn’t been published is correct

CLAIM: At this morning’s Channel 10 debate, Fall River mayoral candidate Gabriel Boomer Amaral claimed that Mayor Coogan’s police Chief Kelly Furtado hasn’t published the latest crime statistics.

RATING: True

REASONING: A look at the Fall River Police Departments website shows the latest crime report published is the 2023 report. We are now 10 months into 2025 and no 2024 crime report for Fall River has been published.

UPDATE: Shortly after our article was published and a conversation with Mayor Coogan the 2024 Crime Report has been added to their Crime Statistics page.
